Prez Sez - It's Going to be a Busy Summer!

5/28/24

We had another great Spring Rally this year! Kudos to Glen & Mick Hoffer, and Mike and Barb Hardy for all their time and

work putting the event together. We ended up at Rooster’s Bar & Grill in Menno for a great meal and awards. Unlike last year, no one had to open up the “panic” envelope!!!

Members are really enjoying the new venue at Five Oaks and the food that is being served. If you haven’t checked it out yet you should!

As many of you know, Ron Kersbergen passed away recently. His funeral was held on Saturday, May 18th and Cindy reports there were 40 Corvettes in the caravan to the cemetery. Rest in peace, Ron.
